The bright, hot, sunny days of summer can be a challenge that many of us underestimate. Even cloudy days can allow overexposure to sun. Make sure you know what to do with your ETS. Read these simple guidelines for supporting yourself, your family, companion animals and plants, trees, garden, etc.

Remember the impact of sun exposure during the fall and winter. And when you consider heat, let your good sense tell you it's a day for ETS.

ETS for Humans If you spend most of the summer months in an air-conditioned environment and your outside exposure is limited to about 15-25 minutes a day: Take 1 dose (1 Dose = A dropperful or 10-12 drops) of ETS each evening.

If you spend more than 30 minutes (at one time) in the sun, but don't exert yourself with more than sunbathing, walking or attending an outdoor show: Take 1 dose of ETS 3 to 4 times daily.

If you work, exercise or play outdoors, especially during the heat of the day, or if you are more vulnerable to sun and heat because of your age, medications that cause sensitivity or for any other reason: Take 1 dose of ETS for Humans 4 to 6 times daily.

If the sun and heat are really getting to you: Take 1 dose of ETS every 5 minutes for 20 minutes. Then take ETS 3 times throughout the remainder of the day and 3 times daily for the next 2 days. Consider also taking an ETS Bath.

ETS for Animals If your animal is just not a hot-weather creature and generally suffers in the summer months, give them one dose of ETS for Animals (a dropperful) one time daily in the evening throughout the summer. And if they're having a particularly hard time, give them one dose of ETS for Animals two times daily for two days. Learn about ETS for Animals »

ETS for Plants If you're going through a difficult heat spell and your plants are suffering, you may water or foliar feed (spray) them with an ETS for Plants solution once weekly throughout the hot period. For fields or crops, use the n.s. application to apply ETS for Plants one time weekly during the hot spell. See the Brochure.Learn about ETS for Plants »

PIC Suggestion: Season Prep If summer weather is not your favorite time of year and the heat, bugs, sweat, long days with just too much sunshine annoy you, and you tend to sit around a lot with no energy waiting for the season to end, try setting up a PIC List test with "Summer Season Prep and Balance" as your focus.

You'll be surprised at the test results and you'll see that your feelings and reactions to the season were due to something bigger going on. The testing may be done any time during the season. This would be especially helpful for those who have a high degree of difficulty with the challenges summer bring on. (This can be done with any season as the focus.)
